Logo Design Poll

05-12-2005, 08:01 PM

This poll will end on the 23rd. Late entries will be allowed, but that means they will get voted on late and may not accumulate the expected amount of votes.

At this point, everyone's comments on which logo should be chose can commence. Have fun!

Then, as they climbed over the rubble of what had once been a gateway and began to make their way through piles of weed-grown masonry, the cat flew to the squat building with the yellow dome upon its roof. It flew twice around the dome and then came back to settle on Jhary's shoulder. - The King of the Swords

_"For an eternity Allard was alone in an icy limbo where all the colours were bright and sharp and comfortless.
_For another eternity Allard swam through seas without end, all green and cool and deep, where distorted creatures drifted, sometimes attacking him.
_And then, at last, he had reached the real world – the world he had created, where he was God and could create or destroy whatever he wished.
_He was supremely powerful. He told planets to destroy themselves, and they did. He created suns. Beautiful women flocked to be his. Of all men, he was the mightiest. Of all gods, he was the greatest."

May the best logo win!

Really, really tough to make a choice. I'm going to jump in with both feet and vote for Ant's, although I think all the logos have something to recommend them. I like the ones which feature the book covers, because they bring back happy memories of browsing bookstores and turning up titles for the first time, I like PWV's spare design which is similar to what we have at the moment, Dee's cartoon logo is nice too.

However, I'm going with Ant because I think it succintly sums up Mike and his work - London, his birthplace and spiritual home intersecting with the fantasy spires, the air ships so on. It highlights the multiversal aspect of Mike's work in a very visual and atmospheric way.

Good work all round guys 8)

I don't know if it's apparent, but at the top of this page is a new poll. Please cast your vote by selecting the entry number and click on submit.

They're all great. I've voted for Ant's though. Maybe, the font could do with a little tweaking and the filesize could come down a tad, but it's a lovely piece of work.

I voted for number six. The picture of Tanelorn with the blimps over it got to me.

I think all of the designs are good in their way. Choosing between them is difficult. The current totals between Etive's and Ant's designs reflect that.

I wouldn't be opposed to cycling through the top 2 selections, if their vote totals are very close.

I'm going to send an email to all the members (Threads: Vol. X Iss. X The Sporadic Information Burst) (like the new title?). I'll invite everyone to participate.

Ah, the vote.

While appreciate all of the time and effort that went into the craftmanship of all of the entries, I tend to go for the non-animated logos since I use dial-up and have my picture rendering turned off to load the pages faster, so the animations just don't show up unless I feel like wait 12 hours for the pages to load properly.

But all of the entries are creative and I enjoyed watching them all. Good show, lads and ladies!

Best,

Jeff
